[tex-live] TeX Live 2011 release available
by CTAN Announcements 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Karl Berry writes: We've gone ahead with the network release of TeX Live 2011 (as some people have already noticed :). It is now or will be soon available from CTAN sites (http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive). As with last year, we recommend doing a network install in one way or another instead of downloading the large (2+gb) .iso -- see http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html for a discussion of the various alternatives. Package updates will restart in another day or two. If anyone notices stale or missing information on the TL web pages, or problems with the release, please report as usual. MacTeX 2011 (http://tug.org/mactex) and proTeXt 3.0 for 2011 (http://tug.org/protext) have also been released and are available from CTAN. The TeX Collection DVD with all the above will be released as soon as possible; hopefully, it will go out in August. Happy TeXing, Karl

On Mon, 18 Jul 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the collectbox package. Summary description: Collect macro arguments as boxes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides macros to collect and process an macro argument (i.e. something which looks like a macro argument) as horizontal box instead as a real macro argument. These arguments will be stored like when using savebox, sbox or the lrbox environment and allow verbatim or other special code. Instead of explicit braces also implicit braces in the form of group and egroup are supported. This allows to split the begin and end over different macros or to place them in the begin and end code of an environment. The provided macros are mainly intended to be used inside other macros or environments ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/collectbox .
